"most depraved" & "mutilation without parallel"
#2
You are totally correct. Consensus amongst scholars in the world of Greek NT manuscript criticism is like living in Alice in Wonderland. These depraved and corrupt manuscripts, Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, are the very Greek manuscripts that scholarly consensus in the Greek manuscript world believe are as close as you will get to the "original Greek" autographs. They believe that it is ALL THE OTHER Greek manuscripts that are corrupt. At the time of Westcott & Hort, there were many, many Greek scholars who wrote volumes on just how bad those manuscripts were, but few listened and the scholarly world was set alight with new theories and ideas.

Also, take a look at this post in the BibleWorks forums:

It shows that not only are the Greek NT manuscripts corrupt, even "scholarly editions" collating these manuscripts and producing "critical" editions of them, are highly corrupt. There are so many errors that it is not even due to incompetence and carelessness.

Then compare the situation with the Peshitta manuscripts, and it is like leaving a room full of chaos and darkness and entering into a world light and sanity.
